A customer billed on this rate shall continue to be billed on this rate until their monthly Maximum Measured Demand is less than 400 kW per month for 12 consecutive months. The utility shall annually offer a customer billed on this rate the option to continue to be billed on this rate for another 12 months if their monthly Maximum Measured Demand is less than 400 kW per month. However, this option shall be offered with the provision that the customer waives all rights to billing adjustments arising from a claim that the bill for service would be less on another rate schedule than under this rate schedule.

Determination of Maximum Measured Demand

The maximum measured demand in any month shall be that demand in kilowatts necessary to supply the average kilowatts in 15 consecutive minutes of greatest consumption of electricity during each month. Such maximum measured demand shall be determined from readings of permanently installed meters or, at the option of the utility, by any standard methods or meters. Said demand meter shall be reset to zero when the meter is read each month.

Determination of On-Peak Billed Demand

When the average monthly Power Factor is equal to or greater than 90.00 percent, the On-Peak Maximum Measured Demand shall be the On-Peak Billed Demand.

When the Average Monthly Power Factor is less than 90.00 percent, the On-Peak Maximum Measured Demand shall be adjusted to obtain the On-Peak Billed Demand. On-Peak Billed Demand shall be determined each month by the following formula:

The Average Power Factor is obtained by the following formula, where

A monthly use of kilowatt hours
B monthly use of lagging reactive kilovolt-ampere-hours as obtained from a reactive component meter

Any reactive component meter used shall be equipped with ratchets to prevent registration of leading power factor.

Conditions Of Delivery

  2. The customer shall keep its loads on the utility's facilities well balanced between phases on the three-phase supply and shall control loads in such a manner as may be necessary to avoid severe fluctuations or surges and to avoid causing other disturbances on the utility's system.
